history

Titschendorf was first mentioned in 1616. The ancestors of today's residents moved from Nordhalben, which belongs to the Bamberg monastery, to Titschenberg for reasons of faith. They built huts and a chapel, in 1650 a school and in 1661 they already had 36 apartments. The current church was built in 1778. The place belonged to the Reussian rule Ebersdorf , which was part of the lines Reuss-Lobenstein and Reuss-Ebersdorf . In 1806 Napoleon crossed the mountains there and probably spent the night in the area.

In 1848 the place came to the Principality of Reuss Younger Line , from 1852 to the Schleiz District Office and in 1919 to the People's State of Reuss . The place has belonged to Thuringia since 1920. After the Second World War it was shaped by the nearby inner German border .

On a former LPG site near the Bavarian-Thuringian border, the Titschendorf glider airfield of the Nordhalben air sports club has existed since 1998.

The first documentary mention of the Heinrichshöhe and Rodacherbrunn settlements in the municipality of Titschendorf was in 1801 and April 30, 1570, respectively. In 2017, a memorial stone was erected on Tiegelsbach for the victim of the GDR dictatorship, Manfred Smolka .
